All 9 Gevrey Grand Crus (Straits Clan, Singapore): Clearly corked at first, but the cardboardiness blew off somewhat with time to show dark cherries, spice, a bit of earth and a nice bit of mineral. Nice if not for the corkiness. The palate had a really nice shape, with melting acidity and silky tannins alongside juicy blue fruited flavours - unfortunately all just a bit scalped by a smidgen of TCA. Enjoyable, but flawed.

Somewhat shy on Day 1, opened up more on Day 2. Elegant, light-bodied, with mostly red fruit on the nose/palate, medium finish. No fireworks here, but pleasant and enjoyable. Lacking the stuffing one would expect in a Grand Cru - more Premier Cru in quality.

Drinking quite well at the moment. Just a little soft and not as filigreed as the top GC, but very enjoyable.

Opened and poured. No formal notes. Good fruit and nose. Probably did not do this bottle justice as it was consumed rather quickly. Drinking well now.
